Just a few of the originals paintings created for custom Christmas cards this year (including my own!)! ✨ A large part of my process involves creating multiple paintings on various sheets of paper and then piecing them all together in Photoshop! This way, I can paint all the tiny elements much larger and in more detail... Many times, these original paintings are then filed away as they aren't really "frame-worthy" but I always find it fun to page back through these and see the original paintings compared with the final—more assembled—outcome. Soon I'll be sharing some of the Christmas cards designed this year, I just love them all so much! . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #newlyengaged #weddinginspo #weddinginspiration #weddingday #weddingideas #weddingcalligrapher #weddinginvitations #weddingstationery #dailydoseofpaper #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #watercolorpainting #watercolor #watercolorwedding #weddingplanner #winterwedding #winterweddinginspiration #weddingflowers #bridalbouquet #christmascard #christmascarddesign #christmaspainting #winterpainting #custompainting #behindthescenes #paintingprocess It’s so unfair to ask you to choose just ONE, but if you had to whittle it down; gift-giving, holiday treat indulging, Christmas tree shopping (which we’re doing today!), and the list goes on—what is your absolute favorite thing about this holiday season? I’ll start: What I love most of all is… going through the Advent calendar with my son each day (or usually catching up on it every couple days)! And there’s nothing better than handcrafting my annual set of ornmanets for our friends and family.... one of last year’s is shown above as I can’t show you the major work in progress of this year’s yet! Ok…so that’s actually two things…I also love...alright FINE! I’ll stop now! Ha! Your turn! . . . #yournewfriendsam #samallencreates #personalizedgifts #personalizedornaments #grandparentgifts #personalizedornament #christmasgifts #christmasgift #christmasornament #christmasornaments #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #modernscript #calligratype #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsycommunity #etsyfinds #etsymagazine #agate #agategeode #agateslice #agateplacecards #brushlettering #weddingideas #weddinginspiration #weddingplanning #winterwedding #christmaswedding Call me a sap but when I'm working on orders for placecards and menus, I can't help but picture the table on the day of the event, whether it's for Christmas dinner or for a wedding, I picture each of these people behind the names I'm writing all sitting together ready to eat, looking around at their loved ones at the table and feeling so grateful. Even if it's chaos before and after, I hope they find a moment to reflect in peace over their blessings. ✨Photo by @allentsaiphoto of @laurenashclarke's gorgeous Greece wedding, @santoriniglamweddings @erossea_villa_santorini . . . . #samallencreates #Etsy #calligratype #dailydoseofpaper #etsycommunity #etsyseller #etsyshop #etsyshopowner #etsyfinds #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #placecards #tablesetting #christmaswedding #winterwedding #weddingideas #weddinginspiration #weddingplanning #weddingreception #christmas #christmastable #christmastablescape #christmastable #christmasplacecards #christmasparty #christmasdinner #shopsmall #shopsmallbusiness #weddingdetails What inspires you to pursue what you love? I’m so lucky I get to make my living doing what I love. A lot of the inspiration to keep pushing comes from my friends. At this time of year, I get to work on some custom designs for their Christmas cards and I have so much fun playing around and experimenting with new ideas. They inspire me to push the boundaries of my creativity as the people pleaser in me always wants to WOW them year after year. What about you, friend? What inspires you?_ Swipe for the smallest peek at the process! . . . . #samallencreates #yournewfriendsam #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorflorals #watercolorflowers #watercolorwreath #flowerstagram #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #floralwatercolor #watercolorflorals #floralpainting #watercolorartist #watercolorleaves #artistsofinstagram #createdtocreate #creativpreneur #wreath #watercolorbotanical #botanicaldrawing #christmaspainting #custompainting #hollyberries #christmascards #christmascard #handdrawn #botanicaldrawing
